SKIN

As a redhead, I’ve spent most of my life in a committed relationship with sunscreen. My skin is super sensitive and gets red at the drop of a hat, so these are the products I swear by to keep things calm, hydrated, and protected-without breaking me o...

LIPS

Finding the right lip color as a redhead is a whole thing. Browns look weird, pinks are hit or miss, and don’t even get me started on “universal nudes.” These are the shades I keep in rotation-peachy, rosy, berry-ish tones that actually work with red...

MAKEUP

Makeup for redheads can be... tricky. The wrong blush makes me look like a tomato, most bronzers are way too much, and don’t even get me started on foundation shades. These are the products I’ve tried, loved, and repurchased because they just work wi...
